SPANISH MINISTER PROTESTS.
Calls the Attention of Our Government
to Filibustering Expeditlonh
Washington , June 8.-Mr. De Lome ,
the Spanish minister to the United
States , has called the attention of the
state department to allegations , that
.filibustering expeditions against Spanish -
ish authority in Cuba are being fitted
out } n the bayous of the Lower Mississippi -
sippi river. He also says armed citizens -
zens of some of the southern states
often parade with arms , with a view
to joining some of these outgoing expeditions -
ditions , or at least to give active encouragement -
couragement to the Cuban Insurrec-
tionists. It Is believed at the department -
ment there is little truth in the reports
which reach here from the South of the
fitting out of warlike expeditions
against Cuba.
Spanish officials here are keeping
close watch on several supposed expeditionary -
ditionary movements for the purpose of
furnishing information on.which to request -
quest action by the United States gov-
ernment. One of the expeditions is believed -
lieved to have started from Philadel-
phia. The suspected ships , it is said ,
are the George Childs and Bridgeport.
The Spanish officials connect the movements -
ments of these ships with suspicious
operations at Dauphin and Cat Island ,
on the mouth of the Mississippi.
THREE MEN HANGED.
San Quentin Prlson , California , tL e
Scenq of a Triple Execution
San Francisco , Cal. , June 8.-Three
murderers were hanged this morning
at San Quentin. Five men were to have
been executed , but Gov. Budd respited
Fremont Smith and Rico Morasco. The
three men who suffered the death penalty -
alty are Patrick Collins , A. Milio Garcia -
cia and Anthony Azoff. Collins stabbed
his wife to death because she would no
longer supply him with liquor. A. Milio
Garcia is a Mexican. Last year near
Colton , San Bernardino county , he cut
the throat of an old Frenchman. The
purpose was robbery. Anthony Azoff
shot and killed Ben Harris , a Southern
Pacific detective. Azoff was a high-
wayman. He had robbed a railroad
station agent and the detective had
traced him to Boulder Creek , when Harris -
ris attempted to place him under arrest.
Azoff drew a revolver and shot him.
CONDITION OF KANSAS WHEAT
Southern and Western Portions of t teState
State Badly Damaged.
Wichita , Kan. , June 8.-Conservative
estimates of the probable wheat crop in
southern and western Kansas are : Cow-
ley County , one-fourth crop ; Sedgewick
County , one-half crop ; Sumner County ,
one-fourth crop ; Reno County , not to
exceed one-fourth of a crop. There will
be a good half crop in Harstro County.
In all the counties along the main line
of the Santa Fe west and in the counties
south of the main line there will be a
total failure of whet. In the territory
visited by the recent heavy rains the
wheat is filling out much better than
was anticipated. Taking Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory as a whole , there
will probably not be as much wheat
raised as was put in for seed. Corn in
southern Kansas is in splendid condition -
tion , and the prospects indicate the largest -
est crop for years.
BANKER CASSATT ARRESTED.
Falluro of the Pella National Bank Assuming -
suming a Serious Look.
' Des Moines , Iowa , June 8.-Ex-Sen-
ator E. R. Cassatt , until recently the
president of the First National Bank of
Pella , arrived here yesterday 'n the
Pock Island 'train with Jnited States
Marshal Gray. Investigation shows
that $60,000 of the bank's funds are missing -
ing much of it belonging to the poor
of the town. While it is generally
known that part of his dealings on the
board of trade was alleged to have been
done through a Des Moines bucket-shop ,
his later and larger deals were made in
Chicago. The amount of cash on hand
is $ S,000 , while the examiners report for
January showed the amount on hand to
be 40 per cent of the full amount. The
fact that the present cashier , J. H. Stu-
benruch , swore to the bank's being in a
solvent condition on March 5 and May
7 places him in a tieculiar pdsitlon.

A SHOCKING STORY.
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST
PACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP CO.
Gustav Rowan , One of the Passengers
Itescued from the Steamer Colima ,
Says the I'eoplo on Board Were
I'raetically Murdered.
San Francisco , Cal. , June 10.-Gustav
Rowan , one of the survivors of the
Colima , has sent a communication to a
local paper in which he says :
"I want to make a statement. Some
of the survivors will not dare to tell
the truth as they have been promised
money to keep still. The Colima was
lost because she was badly handled by
officers without capacity and by bad
men when the gale struck us. When I
saw that the ship was going to sink I
went after the life preservers and commenced -
menced to give them out to the passen-
gers. The steward told me to let them
alone and ordered me forward. I was
saved because I got a life preserver
and if the others had been allowed to ,
get them , too , many would have been
saved with me.
"The passengers were kept penned up
until the last moment and then made to
go-down in the ocean like a pack of
dogs. If some of the passengers had
killed the steward who kept them from
getting safety it would have been
mercy to others. In spite of what
he told me I kept on giving out life preservers -
servers and by this saved some of the
people from death.
The Chronicle says that as a result
of the testimony given at the federal
inquiry into the cause of the Colima
disaster a number of suits for damages
will be brought against the Pacific
Mail steamship company.
FATAL FLOOD IN HUNGARY.
Is Feared the Town of Itoberdsdorf Is
Swept Away.
London , June 10.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna gives additional
particulars of the flooding of Koberds-
dorf , the Hungarian summer resort. So
sudden was the rise of the freshet that
it was not realized until the bodies of
the dead peasantry , pieces of buildings
and furniture from the cottages came
floating into the lower part of the town.
One of the remarkable incidents of
the flood was related by some of the
persons who escaped to the mountains.
It was the story of the manner in which
a cradle containing a sleeping child was
forced down the gorges by the rushing
waters. The child was rescued with
difficulty by those } n the lower part of
the village. Owing to the damage to
the wires , it is impossible to ascertan
the exact loss of life , but it is feared
that the whole town has been destroyed.
It is , however , known that twelve
bodies of the inhabitants of this one
village have been recovered. '
Brazil Sues for Libel.
New York , Jnue 10.-A special cable

"In refutation of stories which ex-
President Caceres of Peru has been

night wired La Preusa that no agreement -
ment existed between himself and the
Chilian government , and that all assertions -
sertions to the contrary were absolutely
false. Brazil has ordered her minister
here to prosecute the Petit Journal , a
French newspaper , for an alleged insulting -
sulting article about Brazil in connection -
tion with the French Guyana affair.

companion is on his way to Nogales ,
Arizona , with the body of the dead
man.
3ray Clash with Socialists.
Vienna , June 10.-It was intended that
the socialists' demonstration on Sunday -
day should be prohibited. Thousands
of workmen , however , have already decided -
cided to take part in the procession , and
it may be impossible to prevent a
demonstration. The police have orders
to do all in their power to stop the
meetings of the socialists , and , as the
officials have recently been reprimanded
fof ° undue leniency to those taking part
in these movements , serious trouble is
expected.

DATE OF NEW TARIFF LAW.
Chief JustIce Futter ! lotto That It
Vent Into Effect on tug. 28.
Washington , June 10.-Chief Justice
Fuller's opinion in the Burr and Hard-
wick case , involving the date when the
present tariff law went into effect ,
which was announced on Monday last ,
but not read , was made public to-day.
Discussing the contention that the law
should have taken effect on August 1
instead of on August 28 , 1533 , the Chief
Justice says.
Upon the threshold we are met with
the fact that the act of 1590 was not
repealed In terms until August 28 , 1594 ,
and that the repealing section of the
latter act kept in force every right and
liability of the government , or of every
person , which has been incurred or accrued -
crued prior to the passage thereof and
thereby every right or liability was excepted -
cepted out of the effect sought to be
given to the first section. The right of
the government to duties under the tariff -
iff law which existed between August
1 and August 28 was a right accruing
prior to the passage of the act. of 1894 ,
and the obligation of the importers between -
tween August 1 and August 28 to pay
the duties on their goods on the existing -
ing tariff law was a liability under that
law arising prior to the passage of the
law of 1S94 ; and if congress Intended
that section A should revert back to
August 1 , still the intention is quite as
apparent that the act of 1590 should remain -
main } n full force and effect until the
passage of the new act on August 28
and that all acts done , rights accrued
and liabilities incurred under the earlier -
lier act prior to the repeal should he
saved from the effect thereof as to all
parties interested , the United States In-
cluded.
"A higher rate was imposed on many
articles by the act of 1894 than by the
prior act , and a lower rate on others ,
while some that were free were made
dutiable , as , forr instance , the article of
sugar. Must duties paid between August -
gust 1 and August 28 be refunded where
the rate was lowered , and assessed
where the rate was raised , or a duty
imposed where none existed ? Clearly
not. "
Summing up , the Chief Justice says :
"As the act of 1890 was not repealed
by the act of 1894 until the latter act
became a law , when inconsistent laws
were declared thereby repealed , we
think it cannot be doubted that congress -
gress intended the rates of duty prescribed -
scribed by the act of 189.4 to be levied
on the first day of August , if the bill
should then be a law , and if not , then
as soon after that date as it should become -
come a law. On the first day of August
the duties prescribed by the first section -
tion of the act of 1894 could not be lawfully -
fully levied , and so far as the importations -
tions in this case are concerned and
others similarly situated , the law required -
quired exaction of the duties prescribed
by the act of 1590. As to such importations -
tions , the first section of the act of
1594 could not be literally carried out
unless by holding It to operate as a
clause , and this we consider altogether
indispensable. The language of section
1 was "that on and after August 1 there
be levied , " and of the second section ,
"that on and after August 1" certain
enume' ated articles shall be exempt
from duty. In our judgment the word
"shall" spoke forr the future and was
not intended to apply to transactions
completed when the act became a law. "
INDIANS WANT ALLOTMENT.
Omahas Anxious to Control Their Tribal
Lands Themselves.
Ponder , Neb. , June 10.-United States
Senator Allen held a council with the
Omaha Indians at the Omaha agency
to personally inform himself in regard
to the ccntroveri which is menacing
the peace of this county. The contention -
tion is in regard to the disposition of
their tribal lands , of which they have
about fifty thousand acres. A number
of Prominent Omaha Indians told the
senator that their people were unanimous -
mous in a desire for an immediate allotment -
lotment in order that they might handle
their tribal lands themselves. The subject -
ject of the five-year lease on a 2,000
acre tract of these lands to Contractor
Farley was then brought up , the Indians -
dians claiming the contract was inter-
ureted to them as a one-year lease.
To Discuss Currency Question.
Indianapolis , Ind. , June 10.-The executive -

ation at Maxinkuckee , June 27 and 28 ,

step was taken after Chairman Taggart
of the state committee had finally declined -

WILL :10T ARM INDIA\S. .
x
Agent of the Omaha Reservation Denie > < .
a Startling Rumor. )
Pender , Neb. , June 6.-Ltttie Interest 1 )
' Is excited on the Omaha reservation by' ;
the report that the authorities at Wash- , ;
lngton have authorized the arming of
the Indian police to evict the settlers.
The report is not credited. Capt. Beck
has repeatedly asserted that he would
sot place loaded guns in the hands of
redskins and turn them loose to eject
the settlers. Beck demands that the ,
settlers cancel their leases with the
Flournoy Land company and lease 1
their farms direct from him. The settlers -
tlers have been paying rent from year ! .
to year to the Flournoy people , who
claim to have a long lease from the In-
dians. Beck has declared that the'
Flournoy company obtained their lease
from the Indians by fraud and that in
canceling it he is merely protecting the - .
interests of the Indians. There are- ,
only twenty regular Indian police , .
though Beck has authority to swear In 1
any or all of the 600 redskins on the
Omaha reservation. While there are
only 200 settlers on the reservation directly -
rectly involved the hundreds of farmers
In Thurston County are largely in symPathY - 1
PathY with them. The settlers have arranged -
ranged to apply to Judge Dundy of the.
Federal court at Omaha for an Injunction -
tion restraining Federal '
troops interfering -
fering i n the affairs of Thurston Coun- 1
ty. Gov. Holcomb will be appealed to '
to oppose Federal troops with militia , I '
and an interesting clash of State , Federal - 1
eral , judicial and municipal authority i' '
Is likely to be the result.
Archbishop Kenrlck Not Deposnd. . {
Rome , June 6.-It is said at the Vat-
lean the action taken by the pope does : I
not depose Archbishop Kenrick from
his present title or position , nor does. 1
it appoint Archbishop ICain as his sue-
cessor. It was made for the purpose' f
of assisting In the management and
administration of the church property - -
erty of the archdiocese. It does not in , ,
any way make Archbishop Kain the
successor of Archbishop Kenrick , but. t
gives him such strong powers as coadjutor -
adjutor that he will be able to carry
Oil the laborious work of managing the
church property and affairs as though.
he were archbishop in name or fact.
This will bring no deposition or removal - - ,
moval of the venerable head of the.
archdiocese. , )
